It's sad no one has said Citizen Kane yet.

 

Not really. It's a classic for its time, but right now it just lives off of its name.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Battle Royale

[Guest wildpegasus]

Yojimbo

I hear Baba's in Yojimbo playing a bodyguard. Does he have much of a part in the movie?

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Have you seen what everyone else is listing?

 

By the by, there's no such thing as a "must own" movie. Sorry.

 

Individuals can have their own personal "must own" movies, however, we tend to call them "favorites".

[Mole]

Dazed and Confused

[chaosrage]

Dumb and Dumber

[Guest Ray]

Yojimbo

I hear Baba's in Yojimbo playing a bodyguard. Does he have much of a part in the movie?

I haven't been able to confirm if it's Baba or not. It looks somewhat like him, but I'm not sure. He's younger and might be wearing makeup though. imdb.com doesn't have his name listed in the credits.

 

It's a small role, but he has a key scene where he's beating Mifune.

most recently, Shaun of the Dead
